I guess I am a real softie. Since we have been living in Tennessee for the last two years, we have noticed a lot of "Stray" dogs that are out there. We have no animal control laws, nothing. There are always loose dogs that walk around our subdivision. When it is hot out I run out there and bring water etc. Then the dogs always leave. Yesterday, we went bike riding and this poor, which I thought was a dog followed us home. Well, when we got home and this dog followed us was all skin and bones and scared. He walked right up to my daughters and I. He was frightened, thin and dirty. I gave him food and water and has not left my driveway. (Yes, Bryan told me he would not leave, I thought he would like all the others, but this one was real thin).
I already have a bassett mix who is "King" of the castle, well, Bryan calls him spoiled. Anyway, I called the new shelter that just opened in the town next door, actually there grand opening is at the end of October and they told me that they are "full" and have no room for this dog. The Shelter asked me what kind of dog you think he is. To me he is cute, (typical girl answer) Bryan, says he's Big and Eats alot (just joking, he did say that though lol) Bryan thinks he is Great Dane and Weimeraner (however you spell it). Basically, if the dog was on two legs, he would be a lot taller then me :bigeyes; He is a BIG boy. He is scared of Bryan and shakes, and runs away from him. He does not like leashes, he runs shaking. Bryan and my parents think he is no older then "1" year, his paws are HUGE!
Well, I am now going to "Foster" this puppy, he is very young and BIG. He is eating and he is eating dog food with rice which the shelter said that is great because he will fill out and thicken out. The shelter is going to come over on Monday and give him shots and help me clean him up. They told me to name it. I did not want to get too attached, but I guess I already am. Bryan is big on history, my daughters want to name him cutie, Ruff, Buddy etc. Bryan has named him...... "Heinrich". I think it actually fits for some odd reason. I will post picture of him later.
I just wanted to share this info with you guys that's all, because it makes me feel bad on how sad it is. It reallys breaks my heart to see him in skin and bones because this morning, scared that I was going to go out there and see a dog in worse shape. I checked on Heinrich and he looked at me excited got up and waged his tale and I knew he was feeling better. :supz:
-
Here is a picture of him, he is doing much better, he is actually playing and running and chasing the kids.

I stopped reading at "puppy".

Actually, I had a dirty dirtbag whore of a girlfriend once who was a dirtbag and needs to die in the dirt that owned a Great Dane (German Mastiff) years ago. She had put off it's Parvo shots for a couple of months until she could afford it and the thing died a horrible death...turns out they are incredibly susceptible to Parvo, so get that checked. Just for the record, Parvo causes them to puke and shit copious amounts of blood until they die from it...I hope my ex gets Parvo.

Doggie looks like a Great Dane
No stray dogs around here, but on any given night I can look out back and see:
Cats
Raccoons
Opossums
Foxes
Flying Squirrels
They are some of my best neighbors. I wouldn't shoot any of them or harm them in any way. The rest of my neighbors on the other hand.....

Dumb bitch. I think it's horrible. This cutie, is pretty good. He is coming around more and more, he is now just starting to warm up to Bryan.. I know he was beaten. The people from the shelter are coming out tomorrow and to test him and give him shots. I am hoping he will be ok, because Bryan and I have thought of that with the Parvo, worms, and whatever else he could have. I know I am already hooked on this "little" guy. I am ready for the worse, but hoping for the best. I can't stand to see his bones. To see a dogs hips and ribs and leg bones, and feel his skull that is bad. He was in bad shape. Thannks for the info. I hope to know more tomorrow.
Frankee, on the other hand (my basset hound) wants no part of him and for now we are keeping Frankee away from Heinrich.

Same here about the neighbors. We have also, Many dogs, Deer, Bobcats, and when we first moved here 2 years ago, brown bears.
Also, I must clear something up before my husband tells me again, since earlier I posted that Bryan said he looks like a Wieneraner (again not sure on spelling)feels that this dog is a Great Dane. My neighbor and mother said it looks like one in the face. My father came over to see him for the first time and said and I quote, "Holy shit, that is a Great Dane, and he is F-ing big and I better be ready because after he is done growing we will be looking eye to eye. :bigeyes;

Keep him! Poor bastard went through enough, doesn't need any separation anxiety on top of that. A dog like that will only be eternally grateful for you helping him out. I should lock my dog out for a few days myself, teach her a lesson. Anyway, good looking out on helping a pooch, but I'd say keep him.

Good luck. Be prepared for some massive turds.

Good luck.

Eh, you are used to dealing with the big turds on this board. :cool;

Especially the one with the 24" head!

TS - you are funny.
We decided to keep the little guy. He is too cute and myself and the girls are going to take care of him, which means, I am. I talked with the people tonight about just fostering him and the lady kept mentioning that she can just "put him down" if we do not want him. :bigeyes;
I am going to take him to our vet tomorrow morning and get him checked out. Basically the shelter could not help because they have so many and she came out and told me that since he is already "big", he prob wont get adopted. I am not going to mess with fostering.
I have another little walking buddie again since my Bassett is too old and tired to walk with me.

Just got back from the vet and he is 100% pure Great Dane! He is around 25lbs underweight. He told me also that he is around 7 months old and he is very small still :bigeyes; . The vet said dont be surprised if he gets to be around 200 lbs! :bigeyes; I feel good that I saved him. Its going to be interesting to see my bassett next to him. (I have to wait a few days, Heimrich has a few worms :vom: ).

Come and get the little orange kitten that stays out back at night. I don't even like cats, and I'm allergic to them, but I still feed and water her. she was born in the woods across from the house.
PS she likes to box raccoons on the nose, It's hilarious.
I'd like to live somewhere I could have a big dog like a great dane or an Irish Wolfhound. I love big dogs.

Bryan and I just got in from running around the yard with Heinrich, man, that dog was flying through the yard, and it sounded like a horse running!
I never had any cats. Cats are sneeky little suckers. They scare the crap out of me with those eyes. Plus, one of my friends growing up had a few cats and they used to climb there kitchen cab and walk on the counters. -ew. Everyone says you can train them but, I dont know. We have one that walks in our backyard and he is a FAT CAT. I try to shoo him out of the yard, but he just looks at me with those EYES and creep me out. Just wait for the next time that cat walks into our yard. I wonder if he will get scared when he sees Heinrich..lol

I crashed at my dad's empty house last night, saw 3 big ass racoons walking through the backyard. Fucking HUGE. They weren't even afraid of me jamming out at 11pm on the back porch.

Good luck.

I just can't figure out whether you or Zap is the bigger turd.

Check the Vital Statistics thread- I'm bigger, he's the turd and we both think that any man eating a banana in public should be drawn and quartered. Now go repack your lunch. :mad:
